Hi Doctor, my girlfriend is extremely sick and has been since Sunday morning. She had a fever and has a a sore throat ever since and has a lot of body aches. She looked into the back of her throat and saw a lot of red and a white ring. Any idea on what it is?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that she is suffering from Viral infection leading to throat soreness and fever..
It can be superseded by Bacterial infection..
I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and he can advise investigations like throat swab culture, blood tests to look for cause of infection..
She can be advised to take a course of antibiotics like Augmentin if there is bacterial infection..
Take Acetaminophen for fever..
Take Ibuprofen for relieving pain and discomfort..
Do warm saline gargles, steam inhalation and use a humidifier in your room..
She can sip on warm water, chew a Vitamin C pellet..
Suck throat lozenges every 4 hours to soothe the throat..
Take soft diet and ample of rest..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
